Can poor-quality fuel in Pakistan cause low average fuel economy in the Oshan X7?

I’ve noticed a in mileage after filling up at certain petrol pumps. Could bad fuel quality, adulterated petrol, o r low-octane content be causing my Oshan X7 to consume more fuel?

Yes, Pakistan’s fuel quality is inconsistent and can directly impact mileage:

Low-octane o r adulterated fuel reduces engine efficiency, especially in turbocharged engines that require RON 91+.

Bad fuel causes knocking, incomplete combustion, and even carbon buildup in injectors and valves.

Tip:

Use fuel from reputed stations like PSO, Shell, o r Total.

Periodically use fuel system cleaner additives to clear carbon deposits.

Avoid filling up at small, less reliable stations.
